My intention is to get three new eating apple trees. One I would like to be
a russet.

Is a russet a russet or are there different types?

For the other two, I would like some recomendations as to some nice ones.

I'm not bothered about the blossom period as we already have a few various
old apple trees.

Any advice on buying also appreciated.

I shan't be doing this very often so just want to get it right.

Apple trees fall into groups. This refers to the time the blossom
opens. Your trees need to be the same or adjacent groups so they get
pollinated. A couple need two other trees to pollinate them.
You can of course take into account your neighbours trees if any.
